Chennai: To condemn the BJP-led Union government, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and its allies have announced to hold black flag demonstrations across Tamilnadu on 20 September.
The move is part of the proposed nation-wide joint agitation of the Opposition parties between 20 and 30 September against the Centre for its ‘anti-people, and anti-democratic’ stand over several issues including its ‘refusal’ to withdraw the three farm laws, the parties said.
A statement issued by DMK and allies, including Congress, said that the decision was taken after a meeting of ‘Opposition parties under the leadership of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.’
The joint statement of the DMK, Congress, the Left parties, MDMK, IUML, VCK, MMK, KMDK and TVK said the protest demonstration would be held in front of the residences of party workers and leaders.
